At 5:08…it takes off as you'd expect for a Laser…

It is beautiful

Nice video Woody

Loved watching this. Thanks for producing it. Would love to come over and sail some of these waters with you guys.

I enjoyed that. You had a good pace up when you were going down hill on the way home. One tip that I'd give you is that when you're sailing a dinghy through a number of big boats on moorings, be sure to say things like "That must be costing them a fortune, to keep there", and "That one needs a lot of work", and "It doesn't look like he get's out on her, much", and "It must be a right mongrel having to row the tender out all that way to go for a sail". I don't know why, but it just enhances the small boat experience so much.

That looked like a very good sail. 👍⛵️😊

Thank you Ian, glad you enjoyed it.

going some good film

Nice sail and bbq. 👍🍺⛵️

Thanks for this video. I have done this in a motorboat a decade ago, but I do have a few questions as I'm considering taking my bilge keeler through.

Having just got a wayfarer, I long to get on waters like this, especially in lincs....there are none. Is this trip only possible when the tide is in? how do you plan for launching and reaching the slipways etc?

Love watching this video. But going to stick my neck out and say your mast is not tight enough? When you are travelling out to sea, the mast can be seen rocking back and forth, you can also hear it. You need more tension in the Jib Halyard.?

I'm glad you guys seem to had a great time! Sailing is fun and I did it solo with a catamaran once off the northwest coast of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. Usually, the seas are much calmer compared to the eastern coast, which is the Atlantic ocean. I felt pretty accomplished when I did it. I was impressed by the speed of that safety boat. I'll watch your channel again.

The Blue rowing skiff that comes into the slipway at 22:38 is mine! My son & his girlfriend were out rowing that day. She is a Cosine wherry stretched to 17ft.

That looked like a great day-sail. Thanks for taking us along with you. Keep em coming 🙂👍.

Hi Woody, great sail, did you need prior permission to land at Paglesham ? Thanks

Looked a good day out, what was wind speed during the sail?

Great sail, great company wonderful day. Cheers Paul ⛵️⛵️

Good video, nice to see Dave out with you again.

Great video Paul, good days sail again. Thanks

Great video

Gotta love a dart 16

Fine sailing, great evening ^^

Thanks Paul, good video. ⛵️⛵️👍

I can't think of a better way to spend a Wednesday evening. Thanks for sharing.

Your Wayfarer main sail is rigged differently than mine. I have a 1974 MkIII here in the US. My main sheet and vang are quite different, yours looks easier to manage. I have have the main sheet cleated at the thwart. I like your set up better.

Great to join you while doing he washing up. Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to make the vid. How long were you actually on the water for? Did the tide interfere with progress much? Cheers.

Nicely put together video i need a few editing tips i think , I had a great sail there last year too.

Another great video, thanks Woody

An efficient reefing system is needed

Thankyou Sean

Were there any trade stalls there? I couldn't see any

Met Paul a few times, good guy

Woody I am a wayfarer sailer and along with my wife and young daughter we are keen to join a good social coal club. Do you agree All Hallows YC would be the boy?

Wonderful Royal Burnham Yacht Club, when i was a child my fathers boat sheered a skin fitting, in those days we only had hand bilge pumps. My father radio'd for help soon a launch came out from there pulling up along side my father wanted a tow to beach the boat, the guy in the launch agreed. The next thing he asked if my father was a member of the Royal Burnham, so my father said no he wasnt, the guy then apologized saying he couldnt help us as we were not members then left. My father soon managed to get a bung through the hole stemming the leak to almost nothing. The engine had been immersed in sea water so we limped back under sail to our mooring at North Fambridge. I find the crouch nice but not at weekends, the huge amount of day sailing makes it not inviting for cruisers

Thank you for taking us with you across tge Thames estuary. I'm originally from Rainham (Medway) so the trip across the estuary was, for me, reminiscent of my sails from Otterham Quay to the Stoke area. No welcome for us on the Isle of Grain as it's just a large container port, but great sailing all the same. Cheers.

Great video Woody. I'm not that much of a sailor but I always thought we were supposed to sheet in before jybing? Suppose with 4 onboard she would be more stable and it proved so. That curry looked great.

Very nice video and trip! 👍 Your main is always flapping was the wind to strong? Wayfarer is such a good boat! My favorite for future. Fair winds 🍀

Wonderful video! No topping lift on the wayfarer? My CL ( Canadian copy) has one, or maybe I’ve got it rigged wrong?

Great video. All the water coming out at the end - was that from the open bilge, or from within enclosed areas like buoyancy tanks? Taken onboard from spray etc, or due to leaks? Quite curious, thanks!

Brilliant video guys. Not an expensive boat you can have fantastic fun at a sailing club.

Sometimes nature just won't cooperate. Enjoyed the trip.

Hi, what yatch were you on? Did I hear you say it was a 24knt wind? If so was the mainsail reefed, or can a yatch like that just take it on the chin!?

Nice video, do many people sail to maldon from Fambridge? Power or sail?

Good video. I don't know why nobody makes dingy cruising videos in my local waters (Vancouver BC). Maybe a dumb question, but can you say a bit more about why you towed in? Just didn't have time and space to beat into the creek? Did you run out of beer? 🙃

Enjoyed the cruise, nice bit of drama and a nice lot of sailing.

Hey fellas, I'm thinking of getting a wayfarer for a bit of solo cruising and to take my 16 year old on some adventures, what are they like out and about?

Perhaps the cone was there to warn of the rock? Just saying...😁

Miss the sailing but most of all miss you lot. 👍👍👍👍👍👍⛵️
